Whitaker family, wherein he re-
viewed past and pleasant memories,
until fioally letters passed between

resulted in their wedding this morn
ing. The parties had never sesn each

tendent of the Mississippi Valley

ditor Arkansas Democrat:


FORREST Cry, ARK, Nay 2s.-We
desire to pre,ent some facts which we pre-
sumo escaped the attention Of the committee
from Little Rock which appeared before the
Int rstate. Commission while it was sitting
in Memphis. The cents mile bill passed
by the last Legislature has gone into effect,
az you know. The Memphis and Little Rock
road has r. duced It's fare from to cents per
mile, but at the same time raised tho price
it had previously charged for crossing tho
river from 40 to 80 cents. Since this is an
interstate" transaction IL Is no violat on of
the Arkansas law, simply desire to evade its
intention. The tkitf, at this point usually
charge q cents for carving pas enger
acr,ss the river. Many of our citizens pur-
chase tickets from this, place to Hopefeld for
81 81 and get across the river the best way
they can: generally getting to Memphis in
this way for 81 so to 81 IS, whereas the ticket
from here to Memphis is sold for 81 %. The
trains have heretofore been running so as to
reach the river in The night; in this way we
were deba red skif privileges. This c.rcum-
stance in railroad management alone sOf-
fciently dem, nstrates the necessity or a
railroad commission for the protection of
the citizens. Since the Senate refused to
grant the wish Of the people. we are forced
TO ask our Governor, Ills Excellency,
Simon +. Hughes. to see that these
Interstate Commission, so that even
handed justice may be done to the citizs ana
of Arkansas and the travelling public, aud
that the Memphis and Little Rock road be
no longer allowed to evade the purpose and
ihten ton of the law of the State that granted
It's charter. Prior to the enactment OF the
law round trip ticket was sold rom this
place to Memphis. forty-fve miles, for 81 So;
now, under the contrivances OF this new ar
rangement. exactly the same price is charged
and collected. L. p. FEATHERSTUN.

How to Get Strong.

Dumb bells and horizontal bars,
Indian clubs and TIE trapeze are
valuable under certain conditions,
but they are detrimental rather than
beneficial if the blood is poor and
thin and poisoned with bile. Use of
the muscles necessitates loss as well
as induces growth. If the blood
does not carry sufficient nutritive
material to repair the waste, loss
OF strength necessarily follows, and
growth is out of the question. Pu-
rify and enrich your blood with Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry" and then exercise will develop
and not consume your physique.
